Bedford Station is a location in the Commonwealth in 2287.

Background[]

Bedford Station is a pre-War train switching station that once serviced the nearby quarry at Thicket Excavations but has since been infested with feral ghouls. Many inoperable train cars are still present around the site.[Non-game 1]

The station was a location for a synth rescue that went wrong. Dutchman, an agent of the Railroad, created a diversion for an escaping synth, A9-51, when they were ambushed by unknown assailants.[1]

Layout[]

A ruined southbound train stretches out on the north to south running tracks. At the northern end of the train, several ghouls mill about a station. The highest level ghouls generally sit on the platform itself, conveniently near an explosive container. Further south sits a control tower, where Dutchman's body rests near the tracks. There are no signs of the assailants or the synth. The body of Helena, the runner mentioned in the terminal holotape who was supposed to meet with Dutchman, is found leaning against the water tower.

Notes[]

There are a set of cut companion comments which would have occurred at this location. While A9-51's fate is not revealed in the final release, these comments indicate that he committed suicide by shooting himself in the head to avoid capture, and that his body with his head blown apart could be found somewhere at or near Bedford Station, upon which these comments would trigger.

  1. Fallout 4 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide Collector's Edition p. 264: "[1.13] BEDFORD STATION
    This was a train switching station serving Thicket Excavations. Recently, this location appears to have been used by the Railroad as a stopover. Look for the bodies of Helena and Dutchman, though the synth they were protecting is nowhere to be found. Locate a large trunk with items in the freight warehouse (north) and a Railroad dead drop in the blue carriage."
